After school, she completed a two year diploma in Travel and Tourism at Boland College in Stellenbosch, before working and studying a Hotel Management course via Protea Hotels for 2 years.

She then worked at Inbound Tour Operators in the FIT and Groups department as Office Manager. During this time Lundi travelled to various locations in and around South Africa, inspecting properties. She was also involved in the marketing side and represented the operators at a number of tourism shows, including INDABA in Durban, WTM in London and ILTM in France.

Lundi started working at the same tour operator as Roné Erwee, and they became good colleagues and friends with the same work ethic. When Roné started Ample Media, Lundi was ready for a new challenge and joined the company five years ago. “I’ve learnt so muc h from Roné ever since.”

Creating a social media platform for other companies is Lundi’s passion. She feels fortunate to use her creative energy on a daily basis, and generating an online presence for her clients is her main goal, so that they can focus on their businesses.

willemien engelbrecht.

“Words have always been my passion!” Willemien completed her Humanities degree at Stellenbosch University in 2014 and started working as a Language Practitioner and Blogger in the travel industry after a short stint as an educator. This sparked her love for content creation and writing in the digital world, so she enrolled in a Digital Copywriting short course at the AAA School of Advertising. She went on to complete Digital Marketing and Graphic Design short courses to further develop her skills.

After 5 years in the travel industry, she moved on to a start-up marketing agency in Cape Town and learned a lot along the way before the agency was forced to close due to the pandemic. She has since been taking on the world of social media and marketing on her own and is excited to join this group of creative and inspiring ladies at Ample Media.
